Giant Bombcast 01-29-2013

We go spelunking in The Cave, compare the relative merits of the Underworld and Resident Evil film franchises, dig into the bureaucracy of SimCity, question the very nature of reality with Antichamber, and pour one out for THQ on this week's Bombcast!

@TepidShark: I think the term legitimately good is pushing it a little bit as an accurate descriptor of the first Resident Evil film. But it's certainly enjoyable, especially in contrast to the rest of that series.

While I can understand some reticence to go back through the Cave a third or fourth time, I didn't really have too much of a problem with it, as it let me refine how quickly I could solve a puzzle each time I went back through. Also, the Scientist is totally worth going back through, Brad.

Regarding Lords of Shadow, the other guys should really check out some of the bosses in the game. The Dragon Boss is easily one of my great gaming highlights. Other than that there are plenty of great stages, like the toybox, machinarium and farmstead.

The unfortunate thing is just that the game starts very slowly and generic.

Maybe They Live was good for its time, but I got no enjoyment out of watching it for the first time a few days ago. Everything other than the concept was just bad. BAD. Bad acting, bad music which never stops, bad action scenes, bad character interaction. Just-- nothing good.

Vinny Caravella : DMC3 PC port is a horrible, terrible experience plagued with technical issues (Just having the game's music files present can take your framerate down a good 20 frames a second) and lousy gamepad support. However just to make things difficult DMC4 is the definitive version with DMC3's Turbo Mode and an extra difficulty that drops tons of enemies everywhere that's exclusive to the PC release which performs wonderfully. Best bet's to get the HD Collection and pick up the DmC bundle for DMC4 and DmC alone.
